Living in Huntington, Vermont

A mountain town shaped by landscape, independence, and a quieter way of life.

ABOUT HUNTINGTON

Huntington sits along the western slopes of the Green Mountains, where the terrain becomes more rugged and the pace of life slows down. Centered around the Huntington River and framed by Camel’s Hump, the town is defined by its landscape more than its development.

The village is small, with just a handful of local businesses and gathering places. Outside of it, homes are spread along winding roads, with wooded hillsides, open fields, and mountain views in nearly every direction.

For those relocating to Vermont, Huntington offers something increasingly rare—privacy, space, and direct access to the outdoors, all within a reasonable drive of Burlington.
